How to hide my IP address and location
You can change IP addresses instantly after connecting to a VPN server. Instead of rocking your real address, you will present online entities with an IP address belonging to the server you have connected to. Thus, if you browse from Spain but connect to a server in the UK, everyone online will regard you as a user from the UK.
Public vs. private IP address
Your public IP address is the one online entities can see. However, all internet-connected devices also have private IP addresses used within a private network. They help routers recognize devices and connect them to the internet.
IPv4 and IPv6
There are two versions of IP addresses in use. IPv4 refers to the version supporting 32-bit addresses. IPv6 is the newer version, using 128-bit address format.

Both IPv4 and IPv6 have the same goal: to label internet-connected devices with a unique identifier. However, IPv4 can supply a little more than 4 billion addresses. With more devices connecting to the internet, IPv6 is the solution to the shortfall of IP addresses.
